Trading Pressure for Peace | Your Nightly Prayer

When stress and pressure build up, our instinct is often to look for quick relief—something that helps us vent, escape, or feel momentarily better. But those temporary outlets rarely bring lasting peace. In this episode, we’re invited to trade pressure for something far greater: the steady, restoring peace that only Jesus provides. As we reflect on weariness, anger, and anxiety, we’re reminded that God does not shame us for our struggles. Instead, He meets us in them, offering comfort, perspective, and hope that lightens the weight we carry.
